Tashy provided pediatric/child & adult CPR/AED & First Aid training to me. Her style of explaining has been the best I have received in the years of receiving the certification. She is extremely knowledgeable in the topic & provides the information in real life scenarios you can remember. She also travels to your location within reason & is affordable.

I needed someone to test my CPR skills hands on after taking the AHA Healthcare Provider CPR online course. I searched off and on for days. No one was doing testing in the west metro and the Mpls classes were full. Finally, thru Thumbtack I found Apollo. Which was a strech because I had never heard of Thumbtack or Apollo before. Located in SLP, Phillip (owner) was even willing to come to my home. He did. On time. He did more than test me, he went over everything that was in the online course step by step AND I WAS NOT BORED! Having taken CPR dozens of times before, I learned to dread the same old, same old. Phillip made the entire time interesting because of his passion and knowledge. He explained why things were done a specific way. He demonstrated form and precision in CPR, and assisting in choking that I had not every been taught in my 35 year career. He was polite, intelligent, experienced, professional, and stayed on topic. Very thorough. This man clearly cares about saving lives.

"I have taken CPR about 15 times, and this is by far the most comprehensive and greatest class!"
At CPR-Twin Cities, we maintain very high standards of instruction. We intentionally have small classes, so we can provide each student with the optimum environment in which to learn these critical, life-saving skills. We have also never used rookie instructors. Almost all of our classes are taught by John Fineberg, an exceptionally patient and thorough EMT with 29 years of experience teaching American Red Cross courses.
We offer classes not only for health and safety professionals, but for the general public as well, in our training center located in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. For your convenience, we can also bring a class to you, at home or at work, practically anywhere in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Visit our website to sign up for a class in our training center. You can also call us, or send us an email, to arrange for a class to be brought to you.

Q & A

You can earn CPR training and receive first aid certification in a number of ways. Choose an online course to learn the materials remotely and then find a testing location to complete the certification process with an in-person demonstration of your knowledge and skills. Encourage your workplace to host a first aid and CPR training so employees can learn what to do in case of a workplace emergency and how to respond with lifesaving techniques. You may also be able to take a CPR or first aid class in your community. A basic CPR training may run four to five hours. After receiving CPR training, you’ll know how to respond if an adult or a child goes into cardiac arrest or stops breathing. You’ll learn how to use chest compressions to keep blood pumping to a person’s organs, which can keep them alive until an emergency responder can arrive. First aid and CPR training can also include education about how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (better known as CPR) is a lifesaving manual technique that pumps oxygenated blood back into the body’s organs if someone’s heart or breathing has stopped. A variety of CPR training is available to community members, employees and healthcare providers. CPR training may last two to five hours or more, depending on the content and the target audience. During the training, students will learn how to recognize and respond to an emergency situation. There are different CPR techniques for adults and children, but with both you will learn how to determine whether the person is conscious before administering chest compression. During the training you’ll learn chest compression techniques for adults and different techniques for children between the ages of 1 and 8. Students learn how to properly administer chest compressions, when the technique is appropriate and when it is not, and how long you must perform rescue measures. Students also learn what an automatic external defibrillator (AED) is and how to use it if necessary to shock a patient before administering CPR chest compressions.

With first aid training, you may be able to help save a life. First aid training can teach people who are not medical professionals how to help a sick or injured person in crisis before an ambulance arrives on the scene. Most commonly, first aid training helps teach you how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

First aid training can teach you how to respond in a variety of emergency situations, including:

Asthma attack

Anaphylaxis

Burns

Choking

Diabetic emergencies

External bleeding

Heart attack

Poisoning

Neck, head or back injury

Stroke

Seizure

First aid training classes may be offered by professionals who are affiliated with the Red Cross, which offers online, in-person, and blended training classes. First aid classes are also often offered through local recreation centers, city services, schools, hospitals and private companies.

People with a first aid certificate are trained to respond quickly and appropriately in life-threatening situations. Although a first aid certificate alone isn’t enough to secure a job, it can make you more attractive to certain types of potential employers. When you have a first aid certificate, you’ve proved that you know how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and handle emergency situations like choking, heavy bleeding, a heart attack or stroke, or anaphylaxis. Most parents prefer babysitters and lifeguards with first aid certification. Many professionals, especially those who work with children, are required to have first aid training, including teachers, coaches, counselors and therapists, firefighters, and social workers. In addition to adult and pediatric first aid plus CPR and AED courses, you can take first aid training specifically designed for babysitting and child care, for health care settings, and for swimming and water safety situations..

To get your first aid certificate, you must take a first aid training course designed for certification. Certified training professionals offer courses to employers, schools or other groups. For an in-person training, you may go to a training location such as a Red Cross classroom, or a professional first aid and CPR trainer can come to you or your office. Most first aid training courses take three to five hours or more, which prepares you to take the first aid certification test. To boost your chances, you can take online practice tests or review study guides. Once you pass the first aid exam, an official digital certificate is emailed to you. You can also have a wallet card or printed certificate sent to you.
